Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Chapter 286: Confession, Falling into the Honey Trap

There was wine and some well-preserved sesame cakes on the small table.

There is also an exquisite little wooden box.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the things on the table, stared at Bai Ruosheng, and sat aside quietly.

Bai Ruosheng looked the same as usual, with a gentle smile on his face. He poured himself a glass of wine and brought it to Jiang Qingwu.

"How can you act as if nothing happened?" Jiang Qingwu looked at Bai Ruosheng sharply and questioned in a low voice.

Bai Ruosheng seemed to have expected this, and smiled calmly.

"You are much more indifferent than before."

"Where is Bai Asheng?" Jiang Qingwu blurted out. She wanted to ask about Bai Asheng, but Bai Ruosheng suddenly interrupted her.

"We have only known each other for a few days, but it seems like you mention Bai Ah Sheng every day."

"Let's not talk about him at this time today. I brought you a gift."

Bai Ruosheng said this and then pushed the wooden box at hand towards Jiang Qingwu.

Looking at the shape of the wooden box, Jiang Qingwu seemed to have guessed something, and then silently took out the blood letter written by Bai Asheng from his arms.

"That's great. I have something to show you too."

As he spoke, Jiang Qingwu spread out the blood letter, and the ten words appeared clearly in front of Bai Ruosheng.

Bai Ruosheng looked at him and then chuckled, "They are just casual friends, so we should abandon them when we are done..."

Bai Ruosheng murmured, looking up at Jiang Qingwu, "Are we just casual acquaintances?"

After saying that, Bai Ruosheng opened the wooden box and leaned towards Jiang Qingwu with a smile, "I got you what you wanted."

Jiang Qingwu's heart tightened slightly and he picked up the gold hairpin from the box.

But as soon as he took it in his hand, his hands were stained with the blood from the hairpin, and his heart was instantly as if it was stabbed by something.

"Is it this hairpin?" Bai Ruosheng looked at Jiang Qingwu quietly, with a strange sneer on his face, "I think it should be."

"Where is he?" Jiang Qingwu asked in a low voice, holding the hairpin tightly in his hand.

"No hurry, just accompany me... for a drink first." Bai Ruosheng murmured calmly, poured himself a glass of wine and handed it to Jiang Qingwu.

Looking at the hand holding the wine glass dangling in the air, Jiang Qingwu took it hesitantly, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Aren't you afraid that I will drug you and take the opportunity to... force you?" Bai Ruosheng said softly.

Jiang Qingwu shook his head slightly, "You wouldn't, would you risk taking Shen Zhuowen to find Yan Lin just because of a word I said..."

"You hate him for bullying me, how could you be such a person."

Bai Ruosheng was startled, his eyes drooped slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "In fact, everything you said was a lie to me."

"Since the last time at the Jingxingsi, you have been plotting against me."

Jiang Qingwu shook his head, gently put down the wine glass, and chuckled, "Earlier..."

Bai Ruosheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, "Yes, even earlier, right here, on the day we watched the fireworks, you suspected me."

"He told me. He said you watched the fireworks in the Three Waters dungeon."

"He held you in his arms, in the dim dungeon, and you agreed to watch the fireworks again in the capital."

"Oh, look at me, so stupid."

"The day I fell in love with you, happened to be the day you hated me."

"There was never any double arrows between us."

As he spoke, Bai Ruosheng sighed heavily, "Tell me, when did you decide to plot against me and let me take you to find Bai Asheng?"

Jiang Qingwu felt uneasy and frowned as he looked at Bai Ruosheng.

Bai Ruosheng seemed to have seen through something, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, he is not dead, he has been saved."

Jiang Qingwu looked at Bai Ruosheng steadily, then spoke slowly.

"Before... Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen took advantage of your ignorance of Sang State's affairs and wanted to force you to meet Bai Asheng for verification."

"They are easy to follow."

"But later I found out that you received the message at some point."

"You answered questions fluently that night. The three of us discussed for a long time and had to make a new plan."

Bai Ruosheng thought seriously while bringing the wine glass to his mouth.

"So, arresting Shen Zhuowen was part of your plan."

"Yes, during that period, I deliberately... I deliberately approached you and treated you well..."

"On the night when Shen Zhuowen was captured, Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai stayed in the palace the whole time just to confuse you."

"To make you believe, I am also in the Marquis' Mansion. We have not taken any action."

"We caught Shen Zhuowen, but we didn't find a way to threaten him, so I deliberately took you to the Beijing Criminal Division."

Bai Ruosheng's expression gradually turned ugly, and then he chuckled and said, "How do you know I will definitely go?"

"You are worried that Shen Zhuowen will tell on you, so you will definitely go to see him."

"You can't get into the death row of the capital's criminal department, so you will naturally come to me and go there openly."

Bai Ruosheng sneered, annoyance in his eyes, "So, everything you said in front of me that day was a lie."

"Yes, but... Yan Lin did, indeed, want to bully me, but he didn't succeed."

"I transferred Shen Zhuowen to a regular cell so that it would be easier for you to find him."

Jiang Qingwu sighed helplessly, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We have no choice but to do this."

"Only when Shen Wanrong is in your hands can you control Shen Zhuowen."

"We will use you to control Shen Zhuowen to find Yan Lin, and then let Gu Yanbai and Yan Xiuchen capture him and confront you."

"Then he acted out a scene in the palace and took the opportunity to mention the golden hairpin."

"Within three days, you will not have enough time to notify your subordinates to pick you up, so you will go to find Bai Asheng yourself."

"That way, we can follow you."

Bai Ruosheng looked at Jiang Qingwu quietly, unable to believe it.

He couldn't believe that the days he was so obsessed with and the time he missed so much were actually the whole plan of Jiang Qingwu and the other two.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruosheng sneered and poured the wine into his mouth with a bit of self-mockery.

"I, Nan Xiuye, was smart all my life but was foolish for a moment. I wanted to use my beauty to lure you, but I fell into your beauty trap instead."

"There's something I don't understand."

Bai Ruosheng said, puzzled, "In the entire palace, I can find everyone who follows me, except Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai."

"When I took Shen Zhuowen to find Yan Lin, I was careless for a moment and was followed by Gu Yanbai."

"So, I was very careful when I came to see Bai Asheng this time."

"I'm sure that no one is following me, including the skilled Yan Xiuchen and Gu Yanbai."

"How did you track me and find me?"

Jiang Qingwu chuckled and shook his head, "No one is following you."

"That day when we were performing in the palace, I sprinkled the unique dew fragrance of the Fuye tribe on you."

"The fragrance is light, lingering, and hard to detect, but... Gu Yanbai can smell it."

Bai Ruosheng frowned slightly and raised his hand to smell his arm, but he couldn't smell anything.

"Okay... okay, okay, I accept defeat sincerely."

"I've told you everything you want to know. Where is Bai Asheng?" Jiang Qingwu asked again.

Bai Ruosheng suddenly came to his senses when he heard the voice, and looked up at Jiang Qingwu, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not used to it."

"You always looked at me gently before."

As he spoke, Bai Ruosheng smiled softly and reached out to touch her face.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingwu shrank back and suddenly avoided him, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp.

Bai Ruosheng's hands stiffened and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"You just want to know where he is? Don't you want to know how he survived in Sang Country for three years?"

"Don't you want to know how you escaped from Sang Kingdom three years ago? And who spread the news of his death?"

"Don't you want to know...how I found him?"
